I was wondering if this sound pack was of Bob doing the calling himself. I was just over at the foxpro site looking at some calls to add to my crossfire and noticed this package. If anyone knows please let me know. Or if Bob reads this himself i guess he would know better then anyone.

The search has continues for a good motion crow decoy. I was town between the mojo and buster decoys. Mojo has really good quality and battery life but it's a spinner and buster is great but I keep hearing it will eat batteries like there is no tomorrow (3 hours max on a fresh set). Yesterday I was going thr...

Fall shooting continues. Buddy and I found a sizeable group feeding on sunflower and other crops. I estimate 5000 crows. Got permission and shot a sunflower field late afternoon. Later intercepted roost bound birds and had a good shoot. Sun was setting, ammo low and wind dropped to nothing. Decided...

Either feast or almost famine, scouted a new spot yesterday and was excited to see a couple hundred birds working the area while I was there. Set up this am and they left, scratched out 22 hard earned birds. I'm determine to figure out how to stay on good shooting this time of year. Friday was a bit cooler a...

Must introduce the latest addition to our family, albeit reluctant on my part...Finlay an English Cream Golden Retriever.

While leaving for work this morning I heard crows in the nearby pecan trees. I've been seeing the first of some fish crows migrating into the area lately, and these were some of those new birds. The fix was simple...pick up my Beretta, shells and earplugs. Walk to the truck where my FoxPro was and turn...

Was going hunting with my brothers Sunday morning and decided to go for crow instead. Turned out to be the right choice since I got 12 and my older brother brought my nephew who is 3 over to watch. Should have been at least 20 but my shooting was off at the start. Best part was is asked my nephew what he though...

What a difference a nice day makes. Fall turkey opening day yesterday (15 SEP) in MI was a beautiful, perfect day (photo 1). Sunny, 60 deg. at sunrise, situated on a “known” turkey highway. What could go wrong--except no turkeys? I saw deer (too far to photo), crows were making their usual racket (even...

Got to go a couple mornings with my son, first day we had a good friend with us and things were tough. Rain heavy before first light and off and on till after 7am, thought they would turn on when it quit but crows acted real strange and would take to much to explain. Still picked up 29 and lost a few more in brus...

Set up this morning at a friend’s development of home sites which includes a nice man-made lake (Google Earth shot). Been here every crow season at one point or another. It’s an easy set up (yellow star), as a blind isn’t needed due to the nice clump of pines and bushes that provide pretty good cover (sha...

Here is one shoot from December 15th 1982 where Boyd Robeson and I rolled 859 crows in one spot all day long! Boyd - 467 Bob - 392 We just used 20 gauge guns with skeet loads in # 9 shot. I used 591 20 gauge hulls = 66% average. 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. The second 800 plus bird shoot was in November of 2010 and I was s...

Having noticed earlier in an article I assume was written by Bob in 1999 it was recommended not to eat the meat from crows due to the West Nile Virus.

I’ve been out of action for the past month, missing the August-September season until this morning. On Tuesday, my spine doc shot my lumbar region up with some steroids, after which he instructed me to test out what he had done by going back to “normal activities." I took that as a Rx to go crow hunt...

Well, got one a couple of days ago and got rained on.

Season opens tomorrow morning here and I can't he more excited. Went out to the WMA I plan to hunt dove at and saw that they finally mowed the millet and sunflowers.

Do you all let the dead birds lay out there? Are there any benefits to leaving them out? Are there any benefits to picking them up?

10gacrowshooter and I got out this morning and hunted till Noon. Still slow but it's nice to be able to get out this time of year. We managed to get 29 between us from a river front blind.

Guys way back when our website had a copy of a release form we could sign and give the land owner. Does any one have such a form that I could copy. I am trying to develop some new areas to hunt and I think that would be helpful. If you have one would you be so kind and send to my email. Thank You Jim

Hi all, newbie here from central Virginia... Crow season opened up a couple Saturdays ago and me and the crew have been having a blast. we managed to bust quite a few this past Saturday...how often do you go back to the same area?

Was just thinking about this. Has anyone or does anyone let them land in your decoys? I have shot them when they are coming into land maybe 10-15 feet from the ground. I use feeding setup and soft calling for the most part so they come in nice and slow looking to join the decoys. I am gonna try it this year and...

I remember when I first joined crow busters reading post that down played the use of layout blinds. I didn't use one for 3 years. I came across a 200 acre corn field that was a staging area about 3/4 miles from the roost. Corn was cut and had been for a while. I tried it and it worked great! I had birds close eno...
